TAAL Pro Tabla / Dayan - 5.5 inch

DESCRIPTION

TAAL Professional Neem wood tabla’s are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional Sheesham, which was added to the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species list in 2017.

Neem wood is part of the mahogany family. It is harvested from a fast growing, drought resistant, heat tolerant tree that is common throughout India. These drums are made with the densest part of the Neem tree - the root wood. This root wood is dried for months before being cut and hollowed out into the drum shape.

This tabla / dayan measures 5.5 inches at the rim and will tune up nicely to B, C, or C#. Precise construction of the syahi (gob) give these drums incredible bell-like clarity. Video samples are included below --

DISCLAIMER

While much of India’s economy is rapidly advancing, the Indian instrument manufacturing process remains comparatively unchanged. It is a cottage industry, and new products made using these traditional methods will appear handmade as compared to electric guitars or keyboards made in an Industrialized manufacturing setting. From touch-ups to tuning, at Old Delhi Music, we add several layers of quality control to an otherwise non-standardized production process. When a particular unit’s cosmetic appearance falls below the standards of what we consider “normal” or “acceptable,” we will label these as “B-stock.”

Please be in touch if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Old Delhi Music
